The UK has just seen one of the most vile political campaigns in recent times. Both sides made claims which were demonstrably false. There are no penalties or incentives which prevent this.
We urge the government to create an independent body to regulate political campaigns.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has the power to ban or change misleading commercial advertisements.
The Consumer Rights Act ensures that buyers have certain rights when they enter into a contract.
Politicians are able to mislead and mis-sell to the electorate. There is nothing which protects voters from 'buyer's remorse'. We view this as a gap which should be addressed.
There is also https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/132671, but that only talks about MPs. All political activity should be subject to this.
